The evolution of China fonts has experienced the characteristics of those fonts.

The evolution of China's fonts has gone through four stages: Oracle Bone Inscriptions, bronze inscription, big seal script and small seal script. It is characterized by more and more standardized Chinese characters.

First, Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

1. Oracle Bone Inscriptions mainly recorded the divination activities of the royal nobles in Shang Dynasty. Because it is carved on the bones of tortoise shells, people call it Oracle Bone Inscriptions.

2. The main features are: the picture features are obvious. Because it is carved on the tortoise shell bone with a knife, the strokes are thin and the font sizes are different.

Second, Jin Wen.

1, bronzes are engraved with inscriptions, also known as Zhong Dingwen-Zhong Ding, articles for daily use, weapons, etc. In the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period.

2. The main features are that the strokes are thick, the structural lines tend to be neat, the picture features are obviously reduced, and the characters and symbols are strengthened.

Third, the big seal.

1, Da Zhuan, a font developed directly from the inscriptions on bronze in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Its shape and structural features are roughly the same as those of the bronze inscriptions, with slight changes and specifications, from which we can clearly see the traces of the development of China's fonts.

2. Main features: the font is neat and symmetrical, the stroke thickness is consistent, and it tends to be straight, which is a big step forward compared with bronze inscriptions.

Fourth, Xiao Yan.

1. After Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he implemented the policy of "using the same language but not the same name". Based on the popular Da Zhuan in Qin State, he changed the strokes and structure of Da Zhuan to make it simpler and more standardized, thus unifying the original complicated Chinese characters. With the same standard, this unified font is Xiao Zhuan.

2. Xiao Zhuan is the product of the first standardization of Chinese characters in the history of China, and it plays a very important role in the development history of Chinese characters. The popularity of Xiao Zhuan ended the chaotic situation of various forms and writing methods of Chinese characters since Oracle Bone Inscriptions for more than 1000 years.
